Happyflower,
I'm not sure whether I was part of the problem when you were blocked: sorry if I was. I also have PTSD. Add borderline personality disorder and alcohol to the mix and I shouldn't be near the internet. I'm not much good at online relationships and expect to be leaving soon anyway.
I've noticed cliques but don't babblemail anymore so don't get in on the rumors. I think I'm "out of the loop" by now.
You're right about the unforgiveness. Some posters (block me please) hold a grudge, a very long grudge. They will look for opportunities to trip up and ambush their perceived "enemies".
One of their favorite tactics is to parse through posts looking for something blockworthy, QUOTE IT, and then act hurt or say something like "OMG", thereby drawing attention to it.
They won't let it rest and will even mob someone after they've apologized. It's like blood in the water for them.
They've learned the art of applying venomous sarcasm within the civility guidelines. I think some are driven by a need to "win" - not sure what.
I don't get it. How can someone fuel a grudge and nurse a greivance for so long?
